Reinforcement Learning by Human Feedback is just parenting for a supernaturally precocious child.

This spring, an international coalition of urban studies and computer planning researchers has announced that they will debut Tile2Net, which they’re calling "the first open-source scene classification model for pedestrian infrastructure." Streetsblog USA usa.streetsblog.org/2023/03/27/new…

Tile2Net is an open-source scene classification model that uses machine learning technology to scan satellite imagery for sidewalks and crosswalks, making it easier for municipalities to document pedestrian infrastructure. Streetsblog USA usa.streetsblog.org/2023/03/27/new…

The Beta version of our Tile2Net tool is now publicly available on GitHub: github.com/VIDA-NYU/tile2… Big thanks to our amazing team, specifically Daniel Hodczak who has been tirelessly working to make it happen! We can't wait to have you use it and hear your feedback! MIT Urban Planning @mitdusp.bsky.social

For the first time in the history of Rutgers University, all three faculty, grad, EOF, and postdoc unions have voted to go on strike. Monday morning, we are ON STRIKE. See you on the picket line. #RUOnStrike

A team of researchers including CDS Joint Faculty Claudio Silva (Claudio Silva) developed an open-source tool using aerial imagery and image recognition to map out sidewalks, crosswalks, and walkways. Read more about TILE2NET on the CDS blog! nyudatascience.medium.com/using-computer…

MIT researchers can map sidewalks from aerial photos and convert them into routable networks—a useful application for accessibility analysis and targeted connectivity improvements. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) #Tile2Net buff.ly/3U2JdNu

Volunteering with Project Sidewalk is simple. Your mission is to virtually navigate city streets looking for accessibility issues like obstacles, broken pavement and missing curb ramps. #takeoverNSF #CitSciMonth bit.ly/40u6g5y

Want to learn more about sidewalk accessibility & help collect valuable data? Join us for a Project Sidewalk Mapathon Thurs, May 25th from 4:30-6PM in the D Center (HUB 327) at the University of Washington. Special thanks to HuskyADAPT, @uwcreate, & the @uwdcenter.

One city at a time! Excited to see Tile2Net is helping make changes happen. Looking forward to the next steps with MassDOT! #tile2net #accessibility #sidewalks change.org/p/pedestrian-w…

Seit einem Jahr kooperieren das HPI und das Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) im gemeinsamen Forschungsprogramm "Designing for #Sustainability".

Watching PhD students lose their last crumbs of illusion about science when faced with stubborn, unreasonable, or completely absent reviewers is heartbreaking. We've got to do better as a community. #NeurIPS2024

Github is down?!

Some people today are discouraging others from learning programming on the grounds AI will automate it. This advice will be seen as some of the worst career advice ever given. I disagree with the Turing Award and Nobel prize winner who wrote, “It is far more likely that the
